My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 110

Diverted for war

Asher felt a bad feeling within him. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

As he and the rest of his pack marched to subdue the enemy, they were on their guard, even

though they knew it would take some time to get to their destination.

“You can never be too careful when it comes to the Hunters” Asher thought.

Still, even though they were making very good progress, and it was clear they held the advantage,

the gnawing feeling of uneasiness kept at him. Was he missing something? He couldn’t have. He had

taken care of everything, his plan was perfect and his strategy had never failed him before, so why…

Why did he feel like he had it all wrong?

Suddenly a sharp pain pierced his heart. Asher groaned as he ceased his match and pressed his

hands tightly on his chest. What was happening to him?

It was nothing physical, and he wasn’t hurt in any way. Clearly, he was unharmed, yet the pain

kept persisting. His heart began to race at an uncontrollable pace and his instincts went haywire. He

couldn’t sense any danger for miles, so he was sure it wasn’t a threat to him. His eyes bulged at the

realisation.

The reason for his uneasiness, why everything seemed so easy and they were so obviously the

winners. What if it was all not real?

“They're not here…?” Asher muttered.

“What was that?” Dax said, noticing Asher's pained look.

Quickly, Damien and Dax rushed to Asher's side and the rest of the pack went on high alert,

looking everywhere for signs of assault, but their senses felt nothing of the kind.

Asher quickly turned behind him and looked as far as he could. He could definitely sense more

presence from the direction of the village than the direction they were headed.

Everything started to add up within his head, and within moments he made sense of the situation.

They had been tricked… There were no werewolf Hunters in the direction they were going… It was all

wrong.

“How did this happen? Was it the information? Did they intentionally set this up, or did it come

from…” Asher thought as he looked at all his subordinates who gave him curious stares.

"No, Asher, calm down. How dare you suspect your own kind. They wouldn't do such a thing…

What werewolf would betray his people like this?"

It had to be the Hunters. They must have found a way to trick them, but how? No, this was no time

to be worrying about such things. First, he had something more important to do.

“Asher, Asher… Asher, what’s wrong?”

Dax finally managed to get through to Asher, who was lost in his thoughts.

“We've been had! The Hunters aren’t there! They’re most likely coming from the opposite

direction!” Asher quickly said.

“W-What?! That makes no sense, but if that’s true, then that would mean…”

Dax's eyes bulged as he realised the implication of the situation. If Asher was right… Then that

would mean the pack was in danger. Rita, everyone else… They would be laid under drive by the

Hunters.

“N-No, shit! We only left 10 percent of our forces there… And they aren't even…" Dax mumbled.

“Exactly! This must have been what they were aiming for!” Asher responded quickly.

He didn’t have time to reason out the details. They had to leave for the village immediately, but that

would be difficult now. Everyone had been on the move since the night before. They were all partially

exhausted, and there was no way they could make it to the village in time. But…

“I have to go now! Dax, you follow behind me! Damien, wait here with the rest and leave for the

village immediately they have rested well enough!” Asher ordered

Before they could respond to his words, he took off. His speed caused shock waves to envelop the

surroundings and the snow parted as he charged ahead for the village.

Dax, after pulling himself together, followed Asher, though he couldn’t even catch up to him in the

slightest even when he was running at full speed two. The difference between them continued to widen

as Asher continued picking up his pace.

One of his hands still tightly gripped his chest as the pain continued. He knew it was due to his

connection to Roxanne. The bond couldn’t be denied. She was in trouble… He had to hurry and help

her!

“Faster! Faster!” Asher bellowed.

Immediately, he transformed into his black werewolf form and went on all fours, increasing his

speed even further.

“Roxanne… Wait for me! I’ll be there soon!”
